HAVERFORD, PA – The Cabrini softball team saw its first action since its Spring Break trip today, as the Cavaliers split a pair of games today at Haverford.

The Blue and White made a late comeback in the opener, before falling 3-2 in eight innings. The club rebounded in the nightcap, as freshman Sammi Sisolak made three early runs stand up in a 3-1 victory.

The Blue and White is slated to return to action on Wednesday, when it heads to Chester, PA to face Widener. First pitch is scheduled for 4pm.

Game 1: Haverford 3, Cabrini 2 (8 innings)
After a pair of scoreless innings, the Fords opened the scoring with solo runs in the bottom of the third and fourth innings.

The Cavaliers broke through in the top of the sixth, as freshman Dorian Ilyes' single plated sophomore Sam Kilson. Cabrini evened the score in the top of the seventh, as a pair of Haverford miscues allowed sophomore Ariana Mirenda to cross the plate.

The Fords threatened to end the game in the bottom of the seventh, but the Blue and White stranded a one out base runner.

The Cavaliers created their own chance to grab the lead in the top of the eighth. Cabrini got runners to second and third with one out, but could not send either across the dish.

Haverford created a similar situation in the bottom of the frame, but a one out fielder's choice plated the game winning run.

Junior pitcher Avery Byrnes was the hard luck loser in the pitcher's circle, allowing just one earned run on five hits with four strikeouts over 7.1 innings.  

Sophomore Madison Gugel and Ilyes accounted for four of the team's four hits, with Ilyes marking the Cavaliers' only RBI.

Game 2: Cabrini 3, Haverford 1
Cabrini grabbed an early lead in the nightcap, plating a pair of runs in the top of the first. With one out and runners on second and third, sophomore Kelsey Huling's sacrifice bunt attempt score Gugel. One batter later, senior Allison Martin's ground out scored sister Kaitlyn Martin.

The Blue and White added another run in the top of the second, as senior Emily Wargo, who opened the frame with a single, scored on Mirenda's bunt single.

The three runs proved to be more than enough for Sisolak, as the rookie scattered seven hits and allowed just one earned run in the complete game victory.

Wargo accounted for two of Cabrini's four base knocks in the victory, while Mirenda and Kaitlyn Martin added base hits.
